Pretty Ribbon

I found this ribbon at Gemeni and thought it would be good for something patriotic.  Now to make that something patriotic.

Little Extra Second Version

I decided to do this pattern in different materials than recommended, too.  This one's in Wildflowers on lugana.  It's pretty small, but I like the way it looks so far.

A New Little Extra

I have started the Little Extra project for the September CyberStitchers meeting.  It's a darning pattern in the kogin style.  Now to get more done....

Fancy Outline

I got band three done, which was four sided stitch.  Band four is a rather large cross stitch design which I am working on now.

Pinned Well

We also found this beautiful butterfly pinned to a white background at the art market in Odessa.  The iridescent colors don't show up well in this photo, but they're gorgeous.

Gridding Green

Got a lot of green done on the right side now.  It's beginning to look a bit more balanced.

Peacock Bracelet

Yay! A peacock bracelet!  We found it at an art market outside the cathedral in Odessa.  I guess I've become a collector of peacock accessories.
